Omar was always a good friend to my husband Charlie, and gave my daughter her first job for 5 years. He was good to our whole family, and we will miss him greatly. Rest in peace Omar, you will always be in our thoughts. Bless you Rosie and take care we will pray for you.

Will always remember the days you still had the pine cone open. You were always taking a siesta in the backyard and I scared you many times. But I really didn’t. You were always an awesome neighbor.

Our love and prayers go out to Rosie and their children for the loss of their father and Rosie's soulmate, Omar. We will remember Omar for his gentle and sweet disposition, and also for his "famous hot sauce" that he made. He would always send a jar of his hot sauce along with Rosie, for her to give to Gene, when she would come to visit us. It was so hot that you could only eat a couple drops of it to a time, or it would burn your mouth off! Gene loved it! We will always keep Rosie and family in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Lou Ellen and Gene Fisk

RIP TIO!!! You are forever in our hearts!!  Tu eres la tristeza de mis ojos Que lloran en silencio por tu amor Me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro El tiempo que he sufrido por tu adios   Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento Pues siempre estoy pensando en el ayer Prefiero estar dormida que despierta De tanto que me duele que no estes   Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras Que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran cerrado nunca y estar mirandolos   Amor eterno e inolvidable Tarde o temprano estare contigo para seguir amandonos   Yo he sufrido tanto por tu ausencia Que desde ese dia hasta hoy no soy feliz y aunque tengo tranquila mi conciencia Se que pude haber yo hecho mas por ti   Oscura soledad estoy viviendo la misma soledad de tu sepulcro Tu eres el amor del cual yo tengo el mas triste recuerdo de acapulco   Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras Que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran cerrados nunca y estar mirandolos Amor eterno e inolvidable Tarde o temprano
